The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (former MHW) of Japan issued a Directive in 1997 advising restaurants and caterers to freeze portions of both raw food and cooked dishes for at least 2 weeks. This system has been useful for determining vehicle foods at outbreaks. Enumeration of bacteria in samples of stored food provide data about pathogen concentrations in the implicated food. Data on Salmonella concentrations in vehicle foods associated with salmonellosis outbreaks were collected in Japan between 1989 and 1998. The 39 outbreaks that occurred during this period were categorized by the settings where the outbreaks took place, and epidemiological data from each outbreak were summarized. Characteristics of outbreak groups were analyzed and compared. The effect of new food-storage system on determination of bacterial concentration was evaluated. Freezing and nonfreezing conditions prior to microbial examination were compared in the dose-response relationship. Data from outbreaks in which implicated foods had been kept frozen suggested apparent correlation between the Salmonella dose ingested and the disease rate. Combined with results of epidemiological investigation, quantitative data from the ingested pathogen could provide complete dose-response data sets.

Abstract We describe here a nonisotopic immunoassay, based on particle-counting technology, for the determination of urinary albumin. The assay takes only 35 min and has been fully automated on the IMPACT (Acade Diagnostic Systems, Brussels, Belgium) machine. The system measures albumin within a linear range between 6.25 and 50 mg/L and has a detection limit of 0.4 mg/L. Analytical recoveries at three concentrations ranged between 96% and 102%. Within-run precision ranged from 1.6% to 9.5%. The method was compared with a commercial nephelometric immunoassay system and a correlation coefficient of 0.996 was found for 216 urine samples. No antigen excess affects the shape of the curve in our system, whereas in nephelometry a 3 g/L solution of albumin starts to decrease the dose-response curve.
